ON DEMAND THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2023
Abstract:
The 2020-2024 MTA Capital Program is the largest in the agency’s history—70% larger than any previous program. More than 80% of the Capital Program is dedicated to maintaining and improving the existing system of subways, buses and commuter railroads that gets nearly 5 million people where they need to go every day, even during the ongoing pandemic.
MTA Construction & Development was formed to consolidate all capital projects under one umbrella with a goal of building faster, better and cheaper. Through strong project management and improved business practices, the agency is doing just that, with more than $8 billion in projects initiated in 2021 and more to come this year.
Speaker
 Jamie Torres-Springer President MTA Construction & Development Jamie Torres-Springer joined the MTA in 2021 as President of MTA Construction & Development and Chief Development Officer. He is responsible for better, faster, and cheaper delivery of the MTA's $55 billion capital plan through innovative management of construction work for subways, buses, commuter railroads, bridges, and tunnels.
Prior to joining the MTA, Mr. Torres-Springer served as Commissioner of New York City's Department of Design and Construction (DDC), the agency responsible for delivering infrastructure and facilities across New York City government. He led development and implementation of DDC's Strategic Blueprint for Construction Excellence, a comprehensive plan to streamline capital project delivery, and had a leading role in several programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the New York City's adaptation to climate change, and reform of the criminal justice system.
Prior to DDC, he led a national planning practice working on urban infrastructure, open space, and citywide strategic plans for inclusive growth and sustainability.
